Jonathan Lethem est un romancier américain très respecté, connu pour son travail dans les genres de detective et de science-fiction. Né à New York en 1964, Lethem a fréquenté le Bennington College et s'est depuis établi comme une figure importante de la littérature américaine contemporaine. Son écriture est largement reconnue pour son mélange unique de différents genres et styles, ce qui lui a valu une réputation de maître de son métier.
Le premier roman de Lethem, "Gun, with Occasional Music", a été publié en 1994 et a marqué le début de sa carrière réussie de romancier. Ce travail qui mélange les genres a combiné des éléments de science-fiction et de fiction detective, fixant la tonalité pour beaucoup de son travail ultérieur. Au cours des prochaines années, Lethem a publié plusieurs autres romans de science-fiction, consolidant encore sa réputation en tant que voix principale dans le genre.
En 1999, Lethem a sorti "Motherless Brooklyn", un roman acclamé par la critique qui a connu le succès auprès du grand public. Ce travail primé par le National Book Critics Circle a été suivi par "The Fortress of Solitude" en 2003, qui est devenu un best-seller du New York Times. En 2005, Lethem a reçu une bourse prestigieuse MacArthur en reconnaissance de ses contributions à la littérature américaine.
Tout au long de sa carrière, Lethem a également écrit des essais et des histoires courtes, mettant en valeur sa polyvalence en tant qu'écrivain. Il a édité plusieurs anthologies, dont "The Vintage Book of Amnesia", et a servi en tant que rédacteur en chef fondateur de la revue Fence. Son écriture est apparue dans de nombreuses publications, y compris le New Yorker, Rolling Stone, et McSweeney's. Lethem continue de vivre et de travailler à Brooklyn, New York, où il reste une figure influente dans le paysage littéraire américain.
